Absolutely. Just saying the whole post deters from the mud, so when you think you're going to get players from advertisements, ones like this will turn players like me away, just letting the poster know.

I dont blame either Delerak or the person who posted the advertisement. I'm in the same position as her, I have a new mud and I want everyone to be on it, although I don't do the same things as her! But I don't mind Delerak being ****ed off about it either, since it is kinda stupid to advertise like that, but I do it too, and what can you do at your starting stages? Advertise, Advertise, Advertise! Best of luck to all of you.
